Wind Turbine V1
High-output wind turbine providing consistent 200MW. Major mid-game power milestone - one turbine replaces 20 solar panels. Note: Building this requires significant rotor production chain.
Wind Turbine V1 is a generator machine on the Moon Energy track, unlocked at Moon Energy Level 9 (Corporate Terminal reward). Wind Turbine V1 is listed at 200 MW output.

The Wind Turbine V1 is the generator page players usually want once starter solar stops feeling reliable. On the current planner baseline, the headline reason is simple: 200 MW is large enough to change the whole base plan, not just one machine lane.
The practical unlock checkpoint is Moon Energy Level 9. That is why many players treat Wind Turbine V1 as the first major power upgradeand ask whether it is worth rushing. In many live saves, the answer is yes, because it relieves pressure from smelters, Fabricators, extractors, and map-expansion infrastructure all at once.
The one thing to watch is community reward-table confusion. Public reward lists and old screenshots can drift, so if your search results disagree about the unlock, cross-check your terminal before planning the whole rotor chain around one stale reward row.
What to open next: verify the Moon route in the corporations hub, compare grid pressure in the calculator, read the power-scaling guide and power-energy guide together, then decide whether your next clean-energy move is to stabilize around Wind Turbine V1 or keep pushing toward Solar Generator V2.
